Well the Brotherhood of Nod was streched rather thinly by the time the mission happened taking account both GDI's counterattack and the Scrin invasion, that may very well be all the forces they can muster. A previous mission Operation: Stiletto, Kane ordered you to sabotage and capture both Scrin and GDI buildings to ensure Nod's main force will not be prematurely unleashed before the Battle for Kane's tower.
If you are having problems on this mission, do exactly what this guy did. No joke, I had been stuck on this damn mission, trying every sort of combo I can think of. Tried this immediately after watching, and I won. Good job mate!
I finally managed to do that mission with this video as a guide. It seems like it is important to use the juggernauts to take out the GDI production buildings, especially the ones in the southern base and its crane can be easily taken out and remove their interference. In addition the main nod army needs to be attracting the attacks from the north GDI base so they do not go after the Scrin (which suck at fighting back in that mission) I even had to use the nukes on the GDI army that was about to finish off the scrin. EDIT: It was also very important to maintain a constant flow of resources in order to replace the fallen infantry. It is a good thing that the A.I. did not used the mammoth tanks to simply trample all my infantry
Yeah its because GDI is saving this one to use on the tower once the generators are all destroyed. If they have TWO active at 0 then they'll use the second one on your base
This is some bullshit. My version always has pitbulls and infantry, tanks, and then sometimes even mammoths by time I get my outpost to the blue tiberium field. Even when I manage to make a foothold there and build up enough infantry to take out the artillery, GDI have penetrated the Scrin base. I'm very close to just playing this mission on Normal and having done with it.
After following this video and many restarts, I finally won...fuck's sake it took so much time and infantry, but, eventually I broke GDI...fuck yeah For those still having trouble despite following this, you MUST keep those production queues busy - crank out the rocket and black hand squads, if you're floating around the 5000+ reserve credit mark, you're not spending enough, *keep cranking those foot soldiers!* Also, when you do rush the south-east base, prioritise the watchtowers and rifle squads - if you read the mission briefing, you'd remember that it said _"GDI have plenty of experience in taking down these towers,"_ meaning that nearly all their infantry will gain heroic veterancy after just shooting a building _once_, or killing _one_ guy in any of your squads, so you will have to prioritise targets on the fly cause GDI just keeps churning them out of that barracks, get your black hand to focus on the infantry, then use the rocket squads to take out APCs and pitbulls - pitbull mortars can wipe out whole squads, and get some of the other rocket squads to kill the barracks and war factory, especially the barracks, cause those rifle squads are dangerous as fuck. While you're doing that also get your juggernauts to attack their power plants - it slows down their building speed AND stops them producing higher tech vehicles like mammoth tanks, get your infantry to do this as well, and make sure to attack any units that are annoying them.
Thumbs up to this! This sort of help would have been great as a verbal commentary for the video, but they decided not to add it :( It's hard to play on the XBox but I managed to expand, then got steam-rollered @_@ Kinda wish they had made an update to use the newer clock interface when the follow up game came out...
***** yeah this particular mission needs some serious micromanagement, something that threw me off the first time I tried because ever since I played my first command and conquer, I've always been a turtle. I just love to sit in my base and watch shit that goes down at the perimeter haha It didn't help that the rest of the game was pretty easy though. Playing on hard difficulty the entire game, this was the only mission that was actually hard. I daresay that if Westwood was still working on command and conquer, hard difficulty would have no remorse.
lol if you want a challenge try this mission on the xbox 360 version, the console version of this game is easily 10x harder than the pc version. (have played both and know this) but I agree with your opinion on the whole PC>console for RTS titles.
well, that's one way to do it, though relatively difficult to execute. The game seemed to lag quite a bit, giving you more time to micromanage. I'll try this some time
I finished this mission for the second time. Good idea with the mixed infantry but I went a different route from there. I built a small squad of stealth tanks, four Vertigos for backup in case GDI got through the Scrin defenses. and defended that ridge with the juggernauts on it with black hands, rocket squads, and obelisks. I mass produced black hands and rocket squads, losing quite a few along the way. The Scrin stayed very active through my entire mission. I actually had to cripple them myself after I killed the southeast GDI base. I saved periodically to different files each time so I could go back if I needed to. It took a while and several tries, but I finally won. I considered crushing the Scrin also, but it's late so I didn't.
I followed this video's strategy... but GDI simply gathers a huge army and crushes the Scrin base, which leads to automatic mission failure. What am I doing wrong?
AlexeiVoronin When I beat this mission I did not follow this strategy, the very first thing I do is build vertigo bombers to destroy the 2 AA batteries and the power plant next to the juggernaughts, then i destroy the juggernaughts and capture then immediately, once they're mine I recall them back to base so they don't get destroyed by predators and missile squads. By then GDI had already destroyed most if SCRIN so I just mass produce fanatics and beam cannons to destroy the mammoth tanks and once GDI was pushed off for a while I sent a surveyor over to the node that GDI goes to. Before I went to destroy GDI I had 7 obelisks, a war factory for vehicle repairs and production, a disruption tower and a cluster of scorpion tanks. After the nodes were secure I use my vertigos to destroy the ion control centre and push forward with the captured juggernaughts to destroy the southern base first. Once it's gone all you have to do is crack the shell of the triple guardian cannons and multiple sonic emmiters within the base. Hope this helped XD
AlexeiVoronin Yeah, when I played through a second time I actually managed to capture one of their gravity stabilizers and get a drone platform before SCRIN was defeated by GDI, with access to all of SCRIN's units and the rift generator I just built devastators and kept them at the nodes until I got to use both the rift generator and the temple of NOD. I'm not sure if it was medium or hard but it was still really fun.
how the hell are those juggernauts firing so far. i know they have a long range but thats just madness. are they special because they are on the campaign ?
i find that the sniper vision as soon as the juggs fire the snipers location is instantly pinged, shame but makes sense for balancing. cheers for le info
Yea, there are specially programmed units in some of the campaigns such as a particular mastermind in one of the GDI missions that can defend itself with some plasma weapon
iglumajor These 3 juggernaughts were modified. They shoot much farther and have incredible sight range, but sacrifice some damage and just about all of their fire rate.
Mission is fucking hard on hard difficulty. I can destroy juggernauts and capture them but then always ION cannon acivates and destroys all three phase generators. Must be pretty fast while making defenses so you can take ion cannon control out. Commando is very useful
Hey how you do click all same unit that dont even in your window i mean u double click on unit but not all just right area with same units not whole map?
what are yall running that makes the game look different, and allow single clicks to enter 5 into the production queries? I have not been able to defeat this mission on difficult; a trio of GDI tanks and pair of pitbulls always kill my emissary before he can finish deploying.
moondog573 When I beat this mission I did not follow this strategy, from the start I focused on getting an air tower up and using vertigo bombers to destroy the 2 AA batteries and the power plant next to the juggernaughts, then I used the vertigos to destroy the juggernaughts and used carry all transports to get some saboteurs over there, once I captured them I immediately brought them back to base (use an escort) because i've had problems with predators and missile squads shooting them down thus resulting in me having to spend more time and money recapturing them. By then, GDI had already destroyed most of the SCRIN so I mass produced fanatics and beam cannons to destroy the mammoth tanks. After a few more skirmishes with GDI I found the time to send a surveyor over to the first power node and set it up. Before I attacked GDI I had 7 obelisks, a war factory for vehicle production and repairs, a disruption tower and a cluster of scorpion guarding it. Once my attention was fully on GDI I used the vertigos to destroy the ion cannon control centre and used the captured juggernaughts to destroy the sothern base. Once it's gone all that's left is to crack the shell of triple guardian cannons and multiple sonic emmiters within the base. The juggernaughts, and what remaining beam cannons i had were unmatched when shooting down their defenses and then you just sweep up the rest of thw base from there. Hope that helped.
@godsizedhole He used the Juggernauts to destroye the War Factory in the north first to stop tank production. He also nuked the plants to make the AI build plants first.
This is my strategy, i lost count how many times i lost this mission and restart. I finally did it : 1. Build 3 Harvester, 3 Saboteur, and build Tech Lab. 2. Order the 3 Saboteur to capture 3 Building the Scrin have, the one that build aircraft, their Tech Lab and the one that produce Mothership. 3. Build 2 Obelisk to defend the east side against GDI attack. 4. Build a Shrine, and then build Commando. 5. Use a wormhole ability from the captured Scrin building to teleport your Commando to the Juggernaut and destroy it. 6. Start building Scrin Carrier (The unit that can produce many Tiny interceptor to attack). At this point i manage to get 4 of Scrin Carrier and defend like hell, it was tough, i don't have many funds, so i have to delay the game until i have 10 Scrin Carrier. By the time i have about 8 Carrier, i manage to build Temple of Nod and still defending against those crazy Mammoth Tank, and Heroic Missile Squad. Don't worry about their Ion Cannon, for some reason they don't use it. At one point i manage to build 9 Obelisk in front of the tower, 11 Scrin Carrier, and i manage to build Scrin Mobile Construction Vehicle to build my own Scrin base. Always focus on the Mammoth Tank first, destroy it with my Scrin Carrier, and then kill the Heroic Missile Squad, then clean up any GDI unit that can shoot up and threathen my Carrier, the rest can be dealt by my Obelisk. I'm doing this until my Temple of Nod and Rift Generator ready and blast the nort east GDI base with it, destroy their Tech Lab and their MCV so they can't build Mammoth Tank anymore. Then i bring my Scrin Carrier to attack that base and leave a single Factory behind, capture it with my Saboteur, build GDI MCV and build my own GDI base, and ion cannon, and build 3 Juggernaut to complete the secondary objective. Then the sout east GDI base is just a piece of cake. Note : Be careful not to attack Scrin base/unit, they are not hostile to you until you attack them by accident. Don't bother with the blue Tiberium and capturing the 5 Juggernaut in the middle, they are waste of time and funds in my opinion, i tried that and just didn't work for me, the Green Tiberium near your base and north between your base and Scrin base is enough, i have total 4 Harvester, 2 harvest north, 2 harvest east. Don't build the 5 grand mothership ... just focus on getting as many Scrin Carrier as you can to defend. Build Temple of Nod/Rift Generator only when you sure you have enough Scrin Carrier to Defend the tower.
what the hell, when i play this GDI has two refineries and like 10 anti air turrets on that major blue tib field in the middle and they keep spamming rail gun predators and mammoths, almost impossible for me
Why would you play an RTS game on a console with inferior controls when there's a perfectly-good PC version available? Even when I only had a crappy laptop that couldn't play games at anything above the minimum graphics settings, I still chose PC for RTS games.
No, there is a point where stealth based units would be uselss in certain missions because now the AI adapts, such as if you have a defense that focus against infantry, they the AI would bring in armor, that is notable in an early nod mission
TheRabbitFear When I beat this mission I did not use this strategy, from the start I focused on getting vertigo bombers up to destroy the 2 AA batteries and power plant next to the juggernaughts. Once they were gone I used them again to destroy the juggernaughts and used carryalls to transport saboteurs to capture the juggernaughts. Once captured, I immediately sent them back to my base (use an escort) because I had trouble with predators and missile squads destroying the juggernaughts thus making me spend more time and money on the juggernaughts, by the time all of this has happened, GDI had already destroyed most of SCRIN units and defenses so I quickly mass produced fanatics and beam cannons to destroy the mammoth tanks. After a few more battles with GDI I found the time to send a surveyor over to the first node. When I was finally ready to assault GDI I had 7 obelisks, a war factory for vehicle repairs and production, a disruption tower and a cluster of scorpions. I used the juggernaughts to destroy the southern base while at the same time using the vertigos to destroy the ion cannon control centre. By the time the southern base was destroyed all that was left to do is crack the shell of the main base with triple guardian cannons and a number of sonic emmiters. I used the juggernaughts and the remainder of my beam cannons to destroy the defenses uncontested. From there it was juat a matter of sweeping up the base. Hope this helped
Unless there was a patch that changed something since I made this video, the southeast Ion Cannon is a "fake" and never fires. The 2nd one you just have to power down with a nuke like I do here.
Why would I make it easier on myself by using something other than the latest patch? That would severely diminish the value of these videos as a guide.
If Kane really wanted that tower, then why the hell he does not provide you with enough resources?
Well the Brotherhood of Nod was streched rather thinly by the time the mission happened taking account both GDI's counterattack and the Scrin invasion, that may very well be all the forces they can muster.

Good job mate!
I played this mission about a month ago and I shit you not the Scrin built a rift generator, attacked me and used it on me.
On Easy.
10/10
6:43............ "That's it, rockets" :)
I finally managed to do that mission with this video as a guide.

@JolinarDeMalkshur
As far as I know; the first Ion Cannon (the one in the southern base) is just a decoy and never fires. =o
Yeah its because GDI is saving this one to use on the tower once the generators are all destroyed. If they have TWO active at 0 then they'll use the second one on your base
Temple of Nod, Laserupgraded Venoms & The Juggernauts are the units I used. And ofcourse abit of avatars here and there: )
This is some bullshit. My version always has pitbulls and infantry, tanks, and then sometimes even mammoths by time I get my outpost to the blue tiberium field. Even when I manage to make a foothold there and build up enough infantry to take out the artillery, GDI have penetrated the Scrin base.

you make me feel like a suck at this game.. ! nice
After following this video and many restarts, I finally won...fuck's sake it took so much time and infantry, but, eventually I broke GDI...fuck yeah
For those still having trouble despite following this, you MUST keep those production queues busy - crank out the rocket and black hand squads, if you're floating around the 5000+ reserve credit mark, you're not spending enough, *keep cranking those foot soldiers!*
Also, when you do rush the south-east base, prioritise the watchtowers and rifle squads - if you read the mission briefing, you'd remember that it said _"GDI have plenty of experience in taking down these towers,"_ meaning that nearly all their infantry will gain heroic veterancy after just shooting a building _once_, or killing _one_ guy in any of your squads, so you will have to prioritise targets on the fly cause GDI just keeps churning them out of that barracks, get your black hand to focus on the infantry, then use the rocket squads to take out APCs and pitbulls - pitbull mortars can wipe out whole squads, and get some of the other rocket squads to kill the barracks and war factory, especially the barracks, cause those rifle squads are dangerous as fuck.

+edbo10 I finished Tiberian sun on the hardest difficulty, both NOD and GDI, it was very easy and westwood made that game
Not ALL their games are hard. Look at red alert 3.
Knight Draco dude westwood (RIP) didnt make RA 3 it was Ea
up until this mission i didnt realise how annoying as hell gdi was
We've got the rockets.........One mission one purpose.....the black hand is arrived!
The in-lore explanation of why the GDI are fucking ruthless in this mission is because Michael Mcneil is leading them.
lol if you want a challenge try this mission on the xbox 360 version, the console version of this game is easily 10x harder than the pc version. (have played both and know this) but I agree with your opinion on the whole PC>console for RTS titles.
the black hand infantry are tough as hell,tanks to them i beat this mission after several tries
well, that's one way to do it, though relatively difficult to execute. The game seemed to lag quite a bit, giving you more time to micromanage. I'll try this some time
It's on my "to-do" list, I just don't know when I'm going to get around to it.
"We got the rockets"
This should be a meme
I finished this mission for the second time. Good idea with the mixed infantry but I went a different route from there.

why haven't you done any kane's wrath walkthroughs? :(
Did you see my infantry-only walkthrough of this mission?
MATHGODpi no
Why on easy do they charge you with mammoths in the beginning!
I followed this video's strategy... but GDI simply gathers a huge army and crushes the Scrin base, which leads to automatic mission failure.
What am I doing wrong?

I'll give it a try sometime.
I was thinking about overtaking the Scrin base and defending the tower directly. And I just love using Vertigo bombers ;)
AlexeiVoronin Yeah, when I played through a second time I actually managed to capture one of their gravity stabilizers and get a drone platform before SCRIN was defeated by GDI, with access to all of SCRIN's units and the rift generator I just built devastators and kept them at the nodes until I got to use both the rift generator and the temple of NOD. I'm not sure if it was medium or hard but it was still really fun.
the critical key point of this mission is those GDI tanks will not crush your infantry and then your rocket soliers become an real "rocket mans"
how the hell are those juggernauts firing so far. i know they have a long range but thats just madness. are they special because they are on the campaign ?
Alexander McKlemurry
Actually, the Juggernauts in this mission are simply programmed with longer range.
i find that the sniper vision as soon as the juggs fire the snipers location is instantly pinged, shame but makes sense for balancing. cheers for le info
Yea, there are specially programmed units in some of the campaigns such as a particular mastermind in one of the GDI missions that can defend itself with some plasma weapon
these juggernaughts have massive range, but for it, they do less damage and much less rate of fire
What happens if the GDI destroys all Scrin Towers?
selling the buildings at the start... total G move
How are you able to put in 5 in the ques at a time?
press shift when you click on the unit production button
This mission was very difficult because your funds are limited and GDI will rush your base early on.
how do those juggernauts shoot that far? are they specific for this mission or something?
iglumajor These 3 juggernaughts were modified. They shoot much farther and have incredible sight range, but sacrifice some damage and just about all of their fire rate.
Mission is fucking hard on hard difficulty. I can destroy juggernauts and capture them but then always ION cannon acivates and destroys all three phase generators. Must be pretty fast while making defenses so you can take ion cannon control out. Commando is very useful
Wolf whats the max fps you get while playing this? and what graphic settings are you playing on?
this is the best played version of this level i have scene
Hey how you do click all same unit that dont even in your window i mean u double click on unit but not all just right area with same units not whole map?

Blue tib in the middle make it much easier to finish. I also captured a part of scrin base and spammed obelisks and avatars to defend the base.
@godsizedhole they do...he just built a forward outpost by blue tiberium field that takes all the heat haha
my black hand gets obliterated from those star infantry units so well this doesnt seem to work anymore
Did you upgrade your infantry?
+Michael Lim bh infantry cant be upgraded same for shadow team and commando
+Kazeshini Hasagi Technically you can give them upgrades from the secret shrine
Damn straight we do.
Why didn't GDI use Ion Canons?
They are saving it to use on the Tower once the generators are down. The 2nd one they build will be used on you
I did the same but when I got juggernauts, 6 mamonths were pushing. WTF?
when destroying the juggernaut just get two shadows to take out the zonetroopers
and a commando to 1 shot all of them
death wolf gaming i know this is old but i decided to play it and this last mission drove me insane i tryed so many times but always failed ;(
what the hell, when i play this GDI has two refineries and like 10 anti air turrets on that major blue tib field in the middle and they keep spamming rail gun predators and mammoths, almost impossible for me
Why would you play an RTS game on a console with inferior controls when there's a perfectly-good PC version available?
Even when I only had a crappy laptop that couldn't play games at anything above the minimum graphics settings, I still chose PC for RTS games.
wouldn't some shadows and a commando help out a lot???
+Zyklon W no man we got the rockets :P
No, there is a point where stealth based units would be uselss in certain missions because now the AI adapts, such as if you have a defense that focus against infantry, they the AI would bring in armor, that is notable in an early nod mission
what happens if I try without the patch?
i rushed to the blue field as early as possible but there were loads of gdi rocket soldiers
TheRabbitFear When I beat this mission I did not use this strategy, from the start I focused on getting vertigo bombers up to destroy the 2 AA batteries and power plant next to the juggernaughts.

In my case they did... my entire base became ashes
3 obelisks shuts down pretty much all harass.
It's the tank rush on an incompetent Scrin that hurts.
OMG so many rockets! You don't have to manspam you could have built SOME tier 3 units like the avatar or even the stealth tank or VERTIGOS xD
Easy, only problem was they built a secondary base to attack my juggernauts specifically but by that time I was halfway through their main base
We got the rockets!
Haha I wonder how you get the time to do all these. I'd die a million times before I get it right. xD
also its weird how they don't even use that first ion
we've got the rockets
Try doing this without hard patch 1.09
now try doing this on the xbox version
Yeah, just for that mission
It is pure luck that none of 2 ion cannons hit you.
Unless there was a patch that changed something since I made this video, the southeast Ion Cannon is a "fake" and never fires. The 2nd one you just have to power down with a nuke like I do here.
because i simply asked and yeah it looks better on pc i only got the game so i can play with my buddy's on xbox
Why would I make it easier on myself by using something other than the latest patch? That would severely diminish the value of these videos as a guide.
i think we have the rockets but im not sure haha
This mission is so fucking unbalanced. Even on easy you get demolished
What version game ? (F! EA g)
i used to have this on xbox found it was bullshit controls sold it and got the pc version
duhastchris I didn't mind the 360 version
